Skin Deep Guest Week!

Hey guys! There's only two pages left in this wonderful installment of Skin Deep: Orientations. Isn't that exciting? I'm super excited.

But here's the deal, boys and girls. This issue has been hard on me since I've been an irresponsible comic maker and have been making each page the day before it goes up (typically posting it a few minutes after midnight when the page should appear), and it's taken a pretty big toll on me. So I'd like, if I may, to try to build up a backlog again to kind of ease the pressure of getting the strip up every Tuesday and Thursday, I will be taking a break for two weeks (perhaps three, as I'm going to be in the Great White North aka Canada during this time and one week might not be enough time) in order to try to shore up some backlog.

What does this mean for you?
Well I can't possibly not post anything for those six days you would normally get comic! So I am proposing a Guest Art Week, where my wonderful friends and fans can showcase their talents at drawing my beloved comic book characters.

What's in it for you?
A good question! Everyone who helps me out by donating a guest strip (or even a drawing) will get a Set of Skin Deep stickers, a mini-poster of your choosing, and a larger poster of your choosing mailed to you. For free! Isn't that keen? Isn't that wonderful? Don't you just want to hop out of bed and draw some wonderful guest art right now?

Ya'll have till August 21st to do this! I'll love you all forever! For serious!

Fanart!

I have been emailing with the fantastic David Petersen lately (we used to frequent the Hellboy Message board), and today he surprised me with super awesome Skin Deep fanart! Wow! Look at how awesome that is! He's been a big confidence booster for Skin Deep since before I started posting it, so finding this in the mail today was just a wonderful surprise!

Ya'll should check out his book, Mouse Guard!. In stores now!
